Sertraline inhibits the reuptake of serotonin into presynaptic neurons. Raising serotonin in the synaptic cleft enhances serotonergic transmission, which regulates mood. A response usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. Medicines of this class may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and actions in children, teenagers and young adults under 24, particularly in the first months of treatment or after a dose increase (MedlinePlus).
